How To Use The Book

How do you read the notation in this book?The notation in this book shows which chords to play, and where they are played. No time

signatures or rhythm is marked so it is recommended that while learning a song to listen to therecording at the same time to find an appropriate strum or picking style. Your friendly music directorcan also help with this.

What does D/F# mean or other chords marked as such?The first letter, “D”, represents the main chord. The second letter, “F#”, represents what the

bass, or lowest note is to be played for this particular chord. This is commonly found when “steppingbetween” chords. For example, you will commonly see D/F# in between a G chord and an E minorchord: G D/F# Em. The D chord is played, but it fills in the step in between the G and the Em. Agood example of this is in Don Maclean’s “American Pie”. Another example is in Paul Simon’s“America”, where he plays : C C/B Am. However, there is no rule saying to use this steppingtechnique, one must also have the word “America” in the title.

How do you read chords marked as such: Bsus2 = x24422 ? There are six strings on the guitar, thus representing the six letters/numbers marked in this

chord. The chord is read left to right – the low-pitched “E string” being the far left, and the far rightnumber being the high-pitched “E string”: 1st = E, 2nd =A, 3rd = D, 4th = G, 5th = B, 6th = E. Thenumbers (2,4,4,2,2) represent which fret to play, and the “x” represents a string that is NOT to beplayed. If there is a “0”, then the string is left open. So this Bsus2 chord reads: 1st string, E, notplayed; 2nd string, A, 2nd fret; 3rd string, D, 4th fret; 4th string, G, 4th fret; 5th string, B, 2nd fret; 6th

string, E, 2nd fret. NOTE!: Not always are the names of the strings associated with the E being 1st, theA being 2nd etc…, sometimes it is reversed where the high E is 1st, the B is 2nd, etc…. For goodpractice in reading new chords, check out the Indigo Girls “Galileo”.

I hope you all enjoy this songbook and have fun doing your own sing-a-longs with it!Clark Z. Terry, Gold Music Director, '02 -'04

All Along the WatchtowerBob Dylan

Am G F G Am (repeat for entire song)

Am G F Am GThere must be some way out of hereSaid the joker to the thiefThere's too much confusionI can't get no relief

Businessmen they drink my winePlowmen dig my earthNone of them along the lineKnow what any of it is worth

No reason to get excitedThe thief he kindly spokeThere are many here among usWho feel that life is but a joke

But you and I we've been through thatAnd this is not our fateSo let us not talk falsely nowThe hour's getting late

All along the watchtowerPrinces kept the viewWhile all the women came and wentBarefoot servants too

Outside in the cold distanceA wildcat did growlTwo riders were approachingAnd the wind began to howl

All for YouSister Hazel

Am D Finally I figured out Am D But it took a long, long time Am D But now there's a turnabout Am D Maybe cause I'm trying

Em Am Em There's been times, I'm so confused Am Em All my roads, they lead to you Am D I just can't turn and walk away

G C Am D G It's hard to say what it is I see in you C Am D G Wonder if I'll always be with you C Am D G But words can't say, and I can't do C Am Enough to prove, D G C D G It's all for you

I though I'd seen it all Cause it's been a long, long time But then we'll trip and fall Wondering if I'm blind

(pre chorus) (Chorus)

Rain comes pouring down Falling from blue skies Words without a sound Coming from your eyes

Finally I figured outBut it took a long, long timeBut now there's a turnaboutMaybe cause I'm trying

(pre chorus) (Chorus)

American PieDon McLean

G D/F# Em Am C Em DA long, long time ago, I can still remember how that music used to make me smile G D/F# Em Am CAnd I knew if I had my chance, that I could make those people dance Em C DAnd maybe they’d be happy for a while

Em Am Em CBut February made me shiver, with every paper I’d deliverC C/B Am C DBad news on the doorstep, I couldn’t take one more step

G D/F# Em Am CI can’t remember if I cried when I read about his widowed brideG D/F# Em C D GSomething touched me deep inside, the day the music died.

G C G DSo bye, bye, Miss American Pie,

G C G DDrove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry

G C G DAnd the good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye

Em A Em DSinging this’ll be the day that I die, this’ll be the day that I die.

Did you write the book of love and do you have faith in God aboveIf the Bible tells you soDo you believe in rock ‘n roll, and can music save your mortal soulAnd can you teach me how to dance real slow

Well I know that you’re in love with him ‘cause I saw you dancin’ in the gymYou both kicked off your shoes. Man I dig those rhythm and blues

I was a lonely teenage bronkin’ buck, with a pink carnation and a pick up truckBut I knew I was out of luck the day the music died

I started singing…

Now for ten years we’ve been on our own, and moss grows fat on a rolling stoneBut that’s not how it used to beWhen the Jester sang for the King and Queen in a coat he borrowed from James DeanAnd a voice that came from you and me

And while the King was looking down, the Jester stole his thorny crownThe courtroom was adjourned. No verdict was returned.

And while Lenin read a book on Marx, the quartet practiced in the parkAnd we sang dirges in the dark, the day the music died.

We were singing…

Angel From MontgomeryJohn Prine

D G D GI am an old woman named after my motherD G A DMy old man is another child that's grown oldD G D GIf dreams were thunder and lightning was desireD G A DThis old house would've burnt down a long time ago

D C G DMake me an angel that flies from Montgomery D C G DMake me a poster of an old rodeo D C G DJust give me one thing that I can hold on to D C A DTo believe in this living is just a hard way to go

When I was a young girl I had me a cowboyWa'n't much to look at, just a free ramblin' manBut that was a long time, and no matter how I tryThe years just flow by like a broken-down dam

(Chorus)

There's flies in the kitchen, I can hear all their buzzin'But I ain't done nothin' since I woke up todayHow the hell can a person, go to work in the morningCome home in the evenin' and have nothin' to say

(Chorus)

Big “C”

On our rugged eastern foothillsStands our symbol clear and boldBig “C” means to fight and win and strive for blue and gold

Golden Bear is ever watchingDay by day he prowlsAnd when he hears the tread of lowly Stanfurd redFrom his Lair he fiercely growls(What’s he say, he says:)

Gr-r-r-r-r-rah! Gr-r-r-r-r-rah!

Gr-r-r-r-r, R-r-r-r, Gr-r-r-r-r-rah!

We are sons of CaliforniaFighting for the blue and goldPalms of glory we will win for Alma Mater true

Stanfurd’s men will soon be routedBy our dazzling “C”And when we serpentineThe red will turn to greenIn our hour of victory.

Blowin’ in the WindBob Dylan

D G D BmHow many roads must a man walk down D G DBefore you can call him a man?

D G D BmYes and how many seas must a white dove sail D G A7Before she sleeps in the sand?

Yes and how many times must the cannonballs flyBefore they are forever banned?

G A D BmThe answer my friend is blowin’ in the wind G A DThe answer is blowin’ in the wind.

How many times must a man look upBefore he can see the sky?Yes and how many ears must one man haveBefore he can hear people cry?Yes and how many deaths will it take ‘til he knowsThat too many people have died?

(Chorus)

How many years can a mountain existBefore it is washed to the sea?Yes and how many years can some people existBefore they’re allowed to be free?Yes and how many times can a man turn his headPretending he just doesn’t see?

(Chorus)

The BoxerPaul Simon

C AmI am just a poor boy though my story’s seldom told

G CI have squandered my resistance for a pocket full of mumbles such as promises

Am G F CAll lies in jest, still a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the restG CMmmmmmm…

When I left my home my family, I was no more than a boyIn the company of strangers, in the quiet of a railway station, running scaredLaying low, seeking out the poorer quarters where the ragged people goLooking for the places only they would know

Am Em AmLie la lie, lie la lie lie lie lie la lie, lie la lie

G CLa la lie lie lie la lie, la la la lie lie

Asking only workman’s wages I go looking for a job, but I get no offersJust a come on from the whores on Seventh AvenueI do declare, there were times when I was so lonesome I took some comfort thereLa la la la la la la

(Chorus)

Now I’m laying out my winter clothes and wishing I was gone, going homeWhere the New York City winters aren’t bleeding me

Em Am GLeading me – Going home

In the clearing stands the boxer and a fighter by his tradeAnd he carries the reminders of every glove that laid him down orCut ‘til he cired out in his anger and his shame,“I am leaving, I am leaving,” but the fighter still remains

(Chorus, repeat 8 times, end on C)

Optional Lyrics: Now the years are rolling by me, they are rocking evenly, I am older than I once was, younger than I'll be, that's not unusual No, it isn't strange, after changes upon changes, we are more or less the same

After changes we are more or less the same

Brown-Eyed GirlVan Morrison

G C G DHey where did we go, days when the rains cameDown in a hollow, playing a new gameLaughin’ and a runnin’, hey, hey, skippin’ and a jumpin’In the misty mornin’ fog with our hearts a thumpin’ C D G EmAnd you, my Brown-Eyed Girl,C D GYou, my Brown Eyed Girl

D GDo you remember when we used to sing

C G DSha la la la la la la la la la la ti da (just like that)G C G D GSha la la la la la la la la la la ti da, La ti da

Whatever happened, to Tuesday and so slowGoing down the old mine with a transistor radioStandin’ in the sunlight laughin’, hiding behind a rainbows wallSlippin’ and a slidin’, hey, hey, all along the waterfallWith you, my Brown-Eyed GirlYou, my Brown Eyed-Girl

(Chorus)

So hard to find my way, now that I’m on my ownI saw you just the other day, my you have grownI cast my memory back there, Lord, sometimes I’m overcome thinkin’ aboutMaking love in the green grass, behind the stadiumWith you, my Brown-Eyed GirlYou, my Brown-Eyed Girl

(Chorus) 2x (second time, like you mean it)

California Drinking Song

Oh they had a little party down in NewportThere was Harry there was Mary there was GraceOh they had a little party down in NewportAnd the had to carry Harry from the placeThey had to carry Harry to the ferryAnd the ferry carried Harry to the shoreAnd the reason that they had to carry Harry to the ferryWas that Harry couldn’t carry anymore

For California, CaliforniaThe hills send back the cryWe’re out to do or dieFor California, CaliforniaWe’ll win the game or know the reason whyAnd when the game is overWe will buy a keg of boozeAnd drink to CaliforniaTill we wobble in our shoesSo drink, tra la laDrink, tra la laDrink, drank, drunk last nightDrunk the night beforeGonna get drunk tonightLike I never got drunk beforeFor when I’m drunk I’m as happy as can beFor I am a member of the Souse family.

Now the Souse family is the best familyThat ever came over from old GermanyThere’s the Highland Dutch, and the Lowland DutchThe Rotterdam Dutch and the IrishSing glorious, victoriousOne keg of beer for the four of usSing glory be to God that there are no more of usFor one of us could drink it all alone. Damn near.Here’s to the Irish, dead drunk.The lucky stiffs….

Well it could be worse, I could've missed my callingSometimes it hurts but when you read the writing on the wallCan't cry anymore

(Chorus)CAnd too much time I've been spendingWith my heart in my hands waiting for time to come and mend itD (pause)I can't cry anymore (5x)

The Christians and the PagansDar Williams

Intro: G C C/B Am DG C Am DAmber called her uncle, said "We're up here for the holiday,G C Am DJane and I were having solstice, now we need a place to stay" G C Am DAnd her Christ-loving uncle watched his wife hang Mary on a tree, Em C Am DHe watched his son hang candy canes all made with red dye number threeG C Am DHe told his niece, "It's Christmas eve, I know our life is not your style,"

G C Am DShe said, "Christmas is like Solstice, and we miss you and it's been awhile,"

G C Em DSo the Christians and the Pagans sat together at the table,G C Em DFinding faith and common ground the best that they were able, Em C Am DAnd just before the meal was served, hands were held and prayers were said,Em C Am D GSending hope for peace on earth to all their gods and goddesses

The food was great, the tree plugged in, the meal had gone without a hitch,Till Timmy turned to Amber and said, "Is it true that you're a witch?"His mom jumped up and said, "The pies are burning," and she hit the kitchen,And it was Jane who spoke, she said, "It's true, your cousin's not a Christian,""But we love trees, we love the snow, the friends we have, the world we share,And you find magic from your God, and we find magic everywhere"

So the Christians and the Pagans sat together at the table,Finding faith and common ground the best that they were able,And where does magic come from, I think magic's in the learning,Cause now when Christians sit with Pagans only pumpkin pies are burning

When Amber tried to do the dishes, her aunt said, "Really, no, don't bother."Amber's uncle saw how Amber looked like Tim and like her fatherHe thought about his brother, how they hadn't spoken in a year,He thought he'd call him up and say, "It's Christmas and your daughter's here"He thought of fathers, sons and brothers, saw his own son tug his sleeve, saying,"Can I be a Pagan?" Dad said, "We'll discuss it when they leave,"

So the Christians and the Pagans sat together at the table,Finding faith and common ground the best that they were able,Lighting trees in darkness, learning new ways from the old, andMaking sense of history and drawing warmth out of the cold

The Circle GameJoni Mitchell

D G DYesterday a child came out to wanderD G ACaught a dragonfly inside a jarD G F#mFearful when the sky was full of thunder

G A DAnd tearful at the falling of a star

D G DAnd the seasons they go round and round

G DAnd the painted ponies go up and downG D7We’re captive on the carousel of timeG F#m GWe can’t return we can only look behind from where we came

F#m G DAnd go round and round and round in The Circle Game.

Then the boy turned ten times ‘round the seasonsSkated over ten clear frozen streamsWords like “when you’re older” must appease himAnd promises of “someday” fill his dreams

(Chorus)

Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone nowCartwheels turn to car-wheels through the townAnd they tell him take your time it won’t be long nowTill you drag your feet to slow the circles down

(Chorus)

Years spin by and now the boy is twentyThough his dreams have lost some grandeur coming trueThere’ll be new dreams, maybe better dreams and plentyBefore the last revolving year is through

(Chorus)

City of New OrleansArlo GuthrieG D GRiding on the City of New OrleansEm C GIllinois Central Monday morning railG D GFifteen cars and fifteen restless riders

Em D GThree conductors and twenty-five sacks of mail

Em BmAll along the south bound odyssey, the train pulls out of KenkakeeD ARolls along past houses farms and fieldsEm BmPassing trains that have no name, freight yards of old black men D D7 GAnd graveyards of rusted automobiles.

C D7 GGood morning America, how are you?

Em C G D7 D9Say, don’t you know me, I’m your native son

G D Em Em7 A7I’m the train they call the City of New Orleans

Bb C D D9 GI’ll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done

Dealing card games with the old men in the club carPenny a point ain’t no one keeping scorePass the paper bag but hold the bottleFeel the wheels rumbling ‘neath the floor

And the sons of Pullman porters and the sons of engineersRide their father’s magic carpets made of steelMother with her babes asleep rocking to the gentle beatAnd the rhythm of the rails is all they feel.

(Chorus)

Night-time on the city of New OrleansChanging cars in Memphis TennesseeHalf way home we’ll be there by morningThrough Mississippi darkness rolling down to the sea

But all the towns and people seem to fade into a dark dreamAnd the steel rail still ain’t heard the newsThe conductor sings his songs again, the passengers will please refrainThis train got the disappearing railroad blues.

(Chorus: Good-night America how are you ….)

ClementineStephen Foster

G D7In a cavern in a canyon excavating for a mine Cm D7 Em D7 GDwelt a miner forty niner and his daughter Clementine

G E7 AmOh my darling, oh my darling, oh my darling Clementine Cm D7 Em D7 GYou are lost and gone forever, dreadful sorry Clementine

Walking lightly as a fairy though her shoes were number nineSometimes tripping, lightly skipping lovely girl my Clementine

(Chorus)She drove ducklings to the water Ev’ry morning just at nineHit her big toe ‘gainst a splinter fell into the foaming brine

(Chorus)Ruby lips above the water blowing bubbles soft and fineBut alas, I was no swimmer, neither was my Clementine

(Chorus)Then the miner, forty-niner, soon began to fret and pineThought he ought to join his daughter, so he’s now with Clementine

(Chorus)I’m so lonely, lost without her, wish I’d had a fishing lineWhich I might have cast about her might have saved my Clementine

(Chorus)While I’m dreaming, I can see her with a garment soaked in brineThen she rises from the waters and I kiss my Clementine

(Chorus)There’s a churchyard, on the hillside, where the flowers grow and twineThere grow roses, ‘mongst the posies, fertilized by Clementine

(Chorus)

(Chorus)

I stopped by the berry at 3:00 a. m.To seek solace in a bottle or possibly a friendBut I woke up with a headache like my head against a boardTwice as cloudy as I’d been the night before,And I went in seeking clarity

(Chorus first two lines)Yeah, we go to the bible, we go through the workoutWe read up on revival, we stand up for the lookoutThere’s more than one answer…

Desperado, why don’t you come to your sensesCome down from your fences, open the gate.It may be raining but there’s a rainbow above youYou better let somebody love youBefore it’s too late.

He grabbed the great goose by the neckAnd he threw a duck across his backAnd he didn’t mind the quack, quackAnd the legs all dangling down-o, down-o, down-oHe didn’t mind the quack, quack and the legs all dangling down-o

The old gray woman jumped out of bedOut of the window she popped her head,Crying John, John, the great goose is goneAnd the fox is on the town-o, town-o, town-oJohn, John, the great goose is gone and the fox is on the town-o

He ran ‘til he came to his nice warm denAnd there were the little ones, eight, nine, tenSayin’ Daddy, Daddy, better go back againFor it must be a might fine town-o, town-o, town-oDaddy, Daddy, go back again for it must be mighty fine town-o

C Gsus F6(9) G7 - 6Galileo’s head was on the block, C Gsus F6(9) G7-6The crime was looking for the truthC Gsus F6(9) G7-6And as the bombshells of my daily fears explode

The GamblerKenny Rogers

E A EOn a warm summer’s evening, on a train bound for nowhere

BI met up with a gambler, we were both too tired to sleep E A ESo we both took turns a’ staring out the window at the darknessA E B E‘Til boredom overtook us, and he began to speak

He said, “Son I’ve made a life out of reading people’s facesAnd knowing what the cards are by the way they hold their eyesSo if you don’t mind my saying, I can see you’re out of AcesFor a taste of your whiskey, I’ll give you some advice

So I handed him my bottle and he drank down my last swallowThen he bummed a cigarette and asked me for a lightThen the room got deathly quiet and his face lost all expressionSaid, “If you’re going to play the game boy, you gotta learn to play it right.”

You’ve got to know when to hold ‘em, know when to fold ‘emKnow when to walk away, know when to runYou never count your money when you’re sitting at the tableThere’ll be time enough for counting, when the deal is done

Every gambler knows that the secret to survivingIs knowing what to throw away and knowing what to keep‘Cause every hand’s a winner and every hand’s a loserand the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep

(Chorus)

And when he finished speaking he turned back towards the windowCrushed out his cigarette and faded off to sleepAnd somewhere in the darkness, the gambler he broke evenAnd in his final words I found an ace that I could keep

(Chorus)

Grandma’s Feather BedJohn Denver

G C G DWhen I was a little bitty boy, just up off the floor, G C G D GWe used to go down to Grandma's house every month end or so G C G DWe'd have chicken pie, country ham, home-made butter on the bread G CBut the best darn thing about Grandma's house G D GWas the great big feather bed

G C GIt was nine feet high, six feet wide, soft as a downy chickGIt was made of the feathers of four-eleven geese A DTook a whole bolt of cloth for the tick GIt could hold eight kids, four hound dogs C GAnd the piggy that we stole from the shed (oink, oink!)G CDidn't get much sleep but we had a lot of fun D GIn Grandma's feather bed

After supper we'd sit around the fire the old folks spit and chewPa would talk about the farm in the war and Grandma'd sing a ballad or twoI'd sit and listen and watch the fire till the cobwebs filled my headNext thing I'd know I'd wake up in the morn'In the middle of the old feather bed

(Chorus)

Well, I love my ma, I love my pa, I love Granny and Granpa tooBeen fishing with my uncle, wrestled with my cousinAnd I even kissed Aunt Loo (foo!)But if I ever had to make a choice, I think it oughta be saidThat I'd trade them all plus the gal down the roadFor Grandma's feather bed(Well, maybe not the gal down the road)

Em AmWhere have you been hidin’ out lately honey Em D GYou can’t dress trashy till you spend a lot of moneyC Em BbEverybody’s talkin’ ‘bout the new sound.F Am G CFunny but it’s still rock and roll to me.

What’s the matter with the car I’m drivin’ can’t you tell that it’s out of styleShould I get a set of white wall tires are you gonna cruise the miracle mile

E Ab Eb F GFrom a story in a magazine Aimed at your average teen

How about a pair of pink side-winders and a bright orange pair of pantsWell you could really be a Beau Brummel baby if you just give it half a chance

Don’t waste your money on a new set of speakersYou get more mileage from a cheap pair of sneakersNext phase, new wave, dance craze, GAnyways it’s still rock ‘n roll to me. Ooooooooh

What’s the matter with the crowd I’m seeing don’t you know that they’re out of touchShould I try to be a straight ‘A’ student if you are then you think too much

Johnny B. GoodeChuck Berry

ADeep down in Louisiana, close to New OrleansAWay back up in the woods among the evergreens DThere stood a log cabin made of earth and wood AWhere lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode EWho never ever learned to read or write so well ABut he could play the guitar just like a ringin' a bell

AGo! Go! Go, Johnny, Go! Go! DGo, Johnny, Go! Go!AGo, Johnny, Go! Go!A EGo, Johnny, Go! Go! Johnny B. Goode

He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sackGo sit beneath the tree by the railroad trackOld engineers would see him sittin' in the shadeStrummin' with the rhythm that the drivers madeWhen people passed him by they would stop and say'oh, my but that little country boy could play

(Chorus)

His mother told him, 'someday you will be a manYou will be the leader of a big ol' bandMany people comin' from miles aroundWill hear you play your music when the sun go downMaybe someday your name'll be in lightsSayin' 'Johnny B. Goode tonight''

(Chorus)

And so he came to live at our house, and he came to work the landCame to ease my daddy’s burden, and he came to be my friendAnd so I wrote this down for Mathew, and it’s for him this song is sungRidin’ on his daddy’s shoulders, behind a mule beneath the sun

Piano ManBilly Joel

A E F#m A D A B7 EIt’s nine o’clock on a Saturday, the regular crowd shuffles in

A E F#m A D E AThere’s an old man sitting next to me, making love to his tonic and gin

He says, “Son can you play me a memory? I’m not really sure how it goesBut it’s sad and it’s sweet and I knew it complete, when I wore a younger man’s clothes.

F#m A B F#m A B E E7La da, diddy da La da diddy da, da daA E F#m A D A B7 ESing us a song, you’re the piano man, sing us a song tonight

A E F#m A D E A‘Cause we’re all in the mood for a melody, and you’ve got us feeling all right.

Now John at the bar is a friend of mine, he gets me my drinks for freeAnd he’s quick with a joke or to light up your smokeBut there’s someplace that he’d rather beHe says, “Bill, I believe this is killing me,” as a smile ran away from his face“well I’m sure that I could be a movie star, if I could get out of this place

(Chorus)

Now Paul is a real estate novelist, who never had time for wifeAnd he’s talking to Davy, who’s still in the navy, and probably will be for lifeAnd the waitress is practicing politics, as the businessmen slowly get stonedYes they’re sharing a drink they call loneliness, but it’s better than drinking alone

(Chorus)

It’s a pretty good crowd for a Saturday, and the manager gives me a smileCause he knows that it’s me they’ve been comin’ to see to forget about life for a whileAnd the piano sounds like a carnival, and the microphone smells like a beerAnd they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar and say “man what are you doing here”

(Chorus)

Together they would travel on a boat with billowed sailJackie kept a lookout perched on Puff’s gigantic tailNoble kings and princes would bow whene’er they camePirate ships would lower their flags when Puff roared out his name, Oh!

(Chorus)

A dragon lives forever but not so little boysPainted wings and giant rings make way for other toysOne gray night it happened Jackie Paper came no moreAnd Puff that mighty dragon he ceased his fearless roar, Oh!

(Chorus)

His head was bent in sorrow, green scales fell like rainPuff no longer went to play along the cherry laneWithout his life-long friend- Puff could not be braveSo Puff that mighty dragon sadly slipped into his cave, Oh!

Right FieldPeter, Paul & MaryG D/F# Em C C/B Am DSaturday summers when I was a kid we’d run to the schoolyard and here’s what we did

C D C DWe’d pick out the captains and choose up the teams

G D/F# EmIt was always a measure of my self-esteem

C Am‘Cause the fastest and strongest played shortstop and first

C D/F#And the last ones they picked were the worstC Am D/F#I never needed to ask, it was sealed I just took up my place in right field

G EmPlaying right field, it’s easy you knowC C/B Am D/F#You can be awkward and you can be slow C D/F#That’s why I’m here in right fieldC D/F# GWatching the dandelions grow

Here in right field, it’s lonely and dull Little leagues never have lefties that pullI’d dream of the day, when they’d hit one my wayThey never did, but still I would pray,That I’d make a fantastic catch on the run, and not lose the ball in the sunAnd then I’d wake up from my long reverie, and I’d pray that the ball never came out to me

Here in… (Chorus)

Off in the distance, the game’s dragging on, there’s strikes on the batter, some runner’s are onI don’t know the inning, I’ve forgotten the scoreThe whole team is yelling and I don’t know what forSuddenly everyone’s looking at me, my mind has been wandering, what could it be?They point to the sky and I look up above, as a baseball falls into my glove!

Here in right field, it’s important you knowYou gotta know how to catch, you gotta know how to throwThat’s why I’m here in right fieldWatching the dandelions grow.

The River of DreamsBilly Joel

GIn the middle of the night, I go walking in my sleep C Dfrom the mountains of faith to a river so deep GI must be looking for something, something sacred I lost C DBut the river is wide and it's too hard to cross

Em DAnd even thought I knew the river is wide C BmI walk down every evening and I stand on the shoreC BmAnd try to cross to the opposite side Am DSo I can finally find out what I've been looking for

In the middle of the night I go walking in my sleepThrough the valley of fear to a river so deepAnd I've been searching for something taken away of my soulSomething I would never lose something somebody stole

I don't know why I go walking at nightBut now I'm tired and I don't walk anymoreI hope it doesn't take the rest of my lifeUntil I find what it is I've been looking for

In the middle of the night I go walking in my sleepThrough the jungle of doubt to a river so deepI know I'm searching for something, something so undefinedThat it only can be seen by the eyes of a blind GIn the middle of the night

I'm not sure about life after thisGod knows I've never been a spiritual manBaptized by the fire, I wade into the riverThat turns to be the promised land

In the middle of the night I go walking in my sleepThrough the desert of truth to a river so deepWe're all land in the ocean we all start in the streamsWe're all carried along by the river of dreamsIn the middle of the night

Rocky Mountain HighJohn Denver

D Em7 G A D Em7 C A

He was born in the summer of his twenty-seventh year D Em7 G A

Comin’ home to a place he’d never been before

Left yesterday behind him, you might say he was born againYou might say he found a key for every door.

When he first came to the mountains, his life was far awayOn the road, and hangin’ by a songBut the string’s already broken, and he doesn’t really careIt keeps changin’ fast, and it don’t last for long

G A DBut the Colorado Rocky mountain high G A DI’ve seen it raining fire in the sky

G A D Em7 Dm7 G(1) The shadow from the starlight is softer than a lull--- a --- by….(2) Talk to God and listen to the casual reply….(3) I know he’d be a poorer man if he never saw an eagle fly….(4) Friends around the campfire, and everybody’s high

D Em7 GRocky mountain high, Colorado

A D Em7 G ARocky mountain high, Colorado

He climbed cathedral mountains, he saw silver clouds belowHe saw everything as far as you can seeAnd they say that he got crazy once and tried to touch the sunAnd he lost a friend but kept his memory

Now he walks in quiet solitude, the forests and the streamsSeeking grace in every step he takesHis sight has turned inside himself to try and understandThe serenity of a clear blue mountain lake

(Chorus)

Now his life is full of wonder, but his heart still knows some fearOf a simple thing he cannot comprehendWhy they try to tear the mountains down to bring in a couple moreMore people, more scars upon the land

(Chorus)

Romeo and JulietDire Straits

D Bm AA love struck Romeo, sings the streets a serenadeD Bm GLaying everybody low, with a love song that he madeA G A DFinds a streetlight, steps out of the shade G ASays something like, “you and me babe how about it?”

Juliet says hey it's Romeo, you nearly gave me a heart attackHe's underneath the window, she's singing hey la my boyfriend's backYou shouldn’t come around here singing up at people like thatAnyway what you gonna do about it?

D A Bm G AJuliet, the dice were loaded from the startAnd I bet, that you exploded in my heartD A G Bm GAnd I forget I forget, the movie songEm G A Bm A DWhen you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?

Come up on different streets, they both were streets of shameBoth dirty both mean, yes and the dream was just the sameAnd I dream your dream for you, and now your dream is realHow can you look at me as I was just another one of your deals?

Well you can fall for chains of silver, you can fall for chains of goldYou can fall for pretty strangers, and the promises they holdYou promised me everything, you promised me thick and thinNow you just say, “oh Romeo yeah you know I used to have a scene with him”

Juliet, when we made love you used to cryYou said I love you like the stars above, I'll love you till I dieThere's a place for us, you know the movie songWhen you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong?

I can't do the talk, like the talk on the T.V.And I can't do a love song, like the way its meant to beI can't do everything, but I'd do anything for youCan't do anything except be in love with you

And all I do is miss you, and the way we used to beAll I do is keep the beat, the bad companyAll I do is kiss you through, the bars this rhymeJulie I'd do the stars with you, any time

(Chorus 2)

A love struck Romeo, sings the streets a serenadeLaying everybody low, with a love song that he madeFinds a convenient streetlight steps out of the shadeSays something like, “you and me babe, how about it?”

Run AroundBlues Traveler

G C Am D (repeat for entire song)Once upon a midnight dearieI woke with something in my headI couldn't escape the memoryOf a phone call and of what you saidLike a game show contestant with a parting giftI could not believe my eyesWhen I saw through the voice of a trusted friendWho needs to humor me and tell me liesYeah humor me and tell me liesAnd I'll lie too and say I don't mindAnd as we seek so shall we findAnd when you're feeling open I'll still be hereBut not without a certain degree of fearOf what will be with you and meI still can see things hopefully

But youWhy you wanna give me a run-aroundIs it a sure-fire way to speed things upWhen all it does is slow me down

And shake me and my confidenceAbout a great many thingsBut I've been there I can see it cowerLike a nervous magician waiting in the wingsOf a bad play where the heroes are rightAnd nobody thinks or expects too muchAnd Hollywood's calling for the movie rightsSinging hey babe let's keep in touchHey baby let's keep in touchBut I want more than a touch I want you to reach meAnd show me all the things no one else can seeSo what you feel becomes mine as wellAnd soon if we're lucky we'd be unable to tellWhat's yours and mine the fishing's fineAnd it doesn't have to rhyme so don't you feed me a line(Chorus)

Tra la la la la bomba dear this is the pilot speakingAnd I've got some news for youIt seems my ship still stands no matter what you dropAnd there ain't a whole lot that you can doOh sure the banner may be torn and the wind's gotten colderPerhaps I've grown a little cynicalBut I know no matter what the waitress bringsI shall drink in and always be fullMy cup shall always be full

Oh I like coffeeAnd I like teaI'd like to be able to enter a final pleaI still got this dream that you just can't shakeI love you to the point you can no longer takeWell all right okaySo be that wayI hope and prayThat there's something left to say

(Chorus) 2x

Thank God I’m A Country BoyJohn Denver

(first two verses and first chorus: a cappella)Well, life on a farm is kind-a laid backAin't much an old country boy like me can't hackIt's early to rise, early in the sackThank God I'm a country boy

Well, my fiddle was my daddy's till the day he diedAnd he took me by the hand and held me close to his sideHe said, "Live a good life and play my fiddle with prideAnd thank God you're a country boy"

My daddy taught me young how to hunt and how towhittleHe taught me how to work and play a tune on the fiddleTaught me how to love and how to give just a littleThank God I'm a country boy

This Land Is Your LandWoody Guthrie

C GThis land is your land, this land is my land

D GFrom California, to the New York Island

C GFrom the redwood forest to the Gulf Stream watersD GThis land was made for you and me

As I was walking that ribbon of highwayI saw above me that endless skywayI saw below me that golden valleyThis land was made for you and me

I’ve roamed and I’ve rambled and I followed my footstepsTo the sparkling sands of her diamond desertsAnd all around me a voice was soundingThis land was made for you and me

When the sun came shining and I was strollingAnd the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rollingAs the fog was lifting a voice was chantingThis land was made for you and me

As I went walking I saw a sign thereOn the sign it said “No Trespassing”But the other side it didn’t say nothingThat side was made for you and me

In the squares of the city, in the shadow of a steepleBy the relief office, I seen my peopleAs they stood there hungry I stood there askingIs this land made for me and you?

Nobody living can ever stop meAs I go walking that freedom highwayNobody living can make me turn backThis land was made for you and me.

The Times They Are A-Changin’Bob Dylan

G Em C GCome gather ‘round people wherever you roam G Am C DAnd admit that the waters around you have grown G Em C GAnd accept that soon you’ll be drenched to the bone G Am DIf you time to you is worth savin’ D C Gmaj7 DThen you better start swimmin’ or you’ll sink like a stone G C D GFor the times they are a chang-----in’

Come writers and critics who prophesy with your penAnd keep you eyes wide the chance won’t come againAnd don’t speak to soon for the wheel’s still in spinAnd there’s not tellin’ who that it’s namin’For the loser now will be later to winFor the times they are a changin’

Come senators, congressman please heed the callDon’t stand in the doorway, don’t block up the hallFor he that gets hurt will be he who has stalledThere’s a battle outside and it’s ragin’It’ll soon shake your windows and rattle your wallsFor the times they are a changin’

Come mothers and fathers throughout the landAnd don’t criticize what you don’t understandYour sons and your daughters are beyond your commandYour old road is rapidly agin’Please get out of the new one if you can’t lend a handFor the times they are a changin’

The line it is drawn the curse it is castThe slow one now will later be fastAs the present now will alter be pastThe order is rapidly fadin’And the first one now will later be lastFor the times they are a changin’

C GWhen I get older losing my hair, many years from now,

CWill you still be sending me a Valentine, birthday greetings, bottle of wine

FIf I’d been out ‘til a quarter to three, would you lock the doorF F7 C A7 D7 G CWill you still need me, will you still feed me, when I’m sixty-four?

Am F G Am EOoooh,-------, You’ll be older tooAm DmAh, and if you say the wordF G C GI could stay with you

I could be handy mending a fuse, when your lights have goneYou can knit a sweater by the fireside, Sunday mornings, go for a rideDoing the garden, digging the weeds, who could ask for more?Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I’m sixty-four?

Every summer we can rent a cottage in the Isle of Wight (if it’s not too dear)We shall scrimp and saveGrandchildren on your knee; Vera, Chuck, and Dave

Send me a postcard, drop me a line stating point of viewIndicate precisely what you mean to say, your sincerely wasting awayGive me an answer, fill in a form, mine forevermoreWill you still need me, will you still feed me when I’m sixty-four?

E Esus E Esus EWho doesn't know what I'm talking aboutE Esus E Esus EWho's never left home, who's never struck out A E Esus ETo find a dream and a life of their own A BA place in the clouds, a foundation of stone

Many precede and many will followA young girl's dream no longer hollowIt takes the shape of a place out WestBut what it holds for her, she hasn't yet guessed

E F#m A BShe needs wide open spacesE F#m A BRoom to make her big mistakes E F#m A BShe needs new faces E F#m A BShe knows high stakes

She travelled this road as a childWide eyed and grinning, she never tiredBut now she won't be coming back with the restIf these are life's lessons, she'll take this test

(Chorus) F#m A BShe knows the high stakes

As her folks drive away, her dad yells, "Check The Oil!"Mom stares out the window and says, "I'm Leaving My Girl"She says, it didn't seem like that long agoWhen she stood there and let her own folks know

(Chorus) F#m A BShe knows the high stakes

You Can Call Me AlPaul Simon

(Chorus)

A man walks down the street, it’s a street in a strange worldMaybe it’s the Third World, maybe it’s his first time aroundHe doesn’t speak the language, he holds no currencyHe is a foreign man, he is surrounded byThe sound, the sound, cattle in the marketplaceScatterlings and orphanages he looks around aroundHe sees angels in the architecture spinning in infinityHe says Amen and Hallelujah!
